CALL FOR NOMINEES: ICAPE
Executive Director
I am coming to the end of my sixth year as
Executive Director of ICAPE, and
though I have thoroughly enjoyed my tenure I think that it is time to allow
others to inject their ideas and enthusiasm into the cause of pluralism (the
fact that I am about to take over as chair of my department also played a role
in my decision). Applicants need not feel bound to express ideas and interests
along the lines ICAPE has
traditionally followed. Suggestions of new and creative directions for the
group are welcome.
The new Executive Director will be selected at
the January 2005, Board of Directors Meeting in
The Executive Director is assisted by a
Secretary and three Regional Associate Directors (each serving at the pleasure
of the Executive Director). In addition, the Executive Director has
traditionally had the following duties:
• coordination of a booth at the ASSA meetings
• maintenance of a web presence
• maintenance of a bulletin board
• writing of an annual newsletter
• preparation of an online and print summary of ICAPE associates’ ASSA conference programs
• collection of dues and maintenance of a
budgetary records
• maintenance of ICAPE’s legal status
• coordination of triennial conference
• calling and chairing board meetings
The above are only means to an end–the new
Executive Director may add or subtract as she sees fit. ICAPE may also request evidence that the
nominee or her employer will offer financial support (to cover the Executive
Director’s travel and modest printing and mailing costs).
The deadline for nominations is November 30,
2004.
Sincerely,

The Institute for Economic Research on Innovation (IERI) is based in
the
Faculty of Economic Sciences of the
does policy research in the political economy of knowledge to promote
sustainable economic growth, social development and political
democracy.
IERI provides in-depth analysis of systems of innovation, science and
technology policy and local economic development. It focuses on local,
provincial and national levels within
continental level across
and workshops, IERI will engage in debate about policy alternatives for
economic, social and political development.
IERI is a non-profit university-based organisation. Research results
will
be placed in the public domain, through the publication of reports, the
submission of articles to both specialised and mass media, and through
participation in seminars, workshops and conferences. IERI provides
information and analysis of value to decision-makers and participants
in
science, technology and innovation policy debates, inside and outside
government. The IERI research programme is organised around four broad
themes of Evidence-based Policy Research;
Development and Knowledge Sharing.
IERI is centrally concerned with Evidence-based Policy Research, which
is
premised on scientifically verifiable methods, as the means towards
shaping
theory from facts. It thereby ensures that it generates and builds upon
both quantitative and qualitative research into the domains of science
and
technology policy, which then contributes towards embracing the
democratic
ethics of transparency and accountability.
apartheid legacy of underdevelopment. The creative and intellectual
strengths of all South African’s are required in the tasks of
reconstruction and development. As such, the target group that IERI is
most
concerned with building capacities with are those designated as Black,
Women and the differentially able. IERI offers previously disadvantaged
people access to vital research experience and exposure to the policy
environment through employment in research projects. This will
effectively
ensure intergenerational learning whilst also providing incomes to
graduate
students from the Faculty of Economic Sciences.
Through this orientation and the creation of these necessary human
resources, IERI will assist the public and private sector to understand,
manipulate and obtain benefits from Knowledge Intensive Products and
Services. It will also play a part in building a professional cadre of
efficient system administrators who are charged with the
responsibilities
of ensuring the delivery and implementation of public good benefits.
IERI is committed to Competency Development that derives from coupling
experiential learning with theorising capabilities. The decade of
freedom
has expanded the experiential base of policy activists. IERI will
provide
an academic setting, which is geared towards providing intellectual
tools
to translate these experiences into knowledge products and services.
The
challenges of knowledge management have also been intensified by
increasingly trans-disciplinary nature of research and the availability
of
material in open sources. Sorting through this ever increasing stock of
information requires active agents imbued with a progressive
orientation to
ensure that the selection of policy options reflect upon the
aspirations of
the majority. Such an assumption includes a pro-poor and anti-elite
stance.
Knowledge Sharing through networking, partnering, alliances and
brokerage
will ensure that the research programme of IERI diffuses into society.
By
means of appropriate codification, the transmission of the insights
generated by IERI would be shared by collective and individual
formations.
IERI will work on commissioned and self-initiated research projects.
IERI
will develop these projects in partnership with other knowledge
enterprises, academic institutions, research institutes and civil
society
organisations.
IERI will develop and maintain two core data sets. These are a Systemic
Innovation Indicators Database, which includes information at the
enterprise, industrial district, nation-state, regional community, and
continental levels; and a Local Development Indicator Database that
targets
cities and towns with an emphasis on service delivery, social
organisation,
human mobility and economic development.
Praxis, for IERI, is derived from understanding the evolution of our
current mode of production from its roots in 18th and 19th century
colonialism and its growth and expansion as a global system of
production,
commerce and trade across the 20th century. Being conscious of the
failure
of neo-classical explanations for this material and social
transformation,
allows IERI to be critical of those approaches that characterise the
21st
century as an unproblematic and uncontested knowledge-based social and
economic regime.
The school of evolutionary economics rationalises systems of innovation
as
complex and chaotic phenomena, by adopting a neo-Schumpetarian
perspective
that explicitly biases towards learning, skills and competencies.
IERI’s
attention is therefore devoted to the intellectual analysis of these
observable factors and trends whilst providing a theoretical discourse
that
empowers progressive social formations. This knowledge-based
perspective
emphasises learning, skills and competencies as core determinants of
the
growth and development process.
IERI’s mission is to be established and recognised as an African centre
of
excellence in the fields of Policy, Strategy, Implementation,
Monitoring
and Evaluation within the domain of innovation systems and networked
through trans-disciplinary competences in economic, social and
political
sciences. IERI will participate in the Science and Technology
Programmes of
New Partnership for
contribute to the objective of strengthening the African Union.
IERI is structured around Research Fellows, Research Associates and
Research Assistants. The position of Fellows will allow IERI to draw
together African Experts in the fields of Local Development,
Methodology
and Policy Research. The Associates will be engaged on the basis of
research programmes and projects, while the Assistants will be
competitively selected from amongst the Faculty’s learners. This latter
category is a form of policy research learnerships.
